[edit] Pet ideas

Semantic markup. Some values, notably the CAS reference numbers and SMILES structural representations in chemistry (and many, many other such codes) should be marked in HTML code by their meaning. An experimental way with the SMILES and CASREF templates is suggested; the value in question is entered via the template, and the template wraps it into a <span class="valueVALUENAME">value<span>, which then allows seamless processing of the value by client-side javascript, either via Greasemonkey-style extension, or via scripts included via user styles.

Getting WP to allow inserting XML objects directly into the text would be nice - direct inserting of simple SVG images and diagrams is the obvious application. An online editor for simple images, perhaps as a Java applet, would be a logical extension.

Update: Wikimedia Commons supports SVG. Not as inline, but still good enough for most purposes.

3D objects could be then represented as VRML objects. Lack of VRML (or equivalent) support in Wikimedia is noticeable.

This can be extended to chemical formulas. Showing formulas as bitmap images is grossly suboptimal, as they could be stored as eg. .mol files or their XML form. Ideally, both a bitmap image of the formula and a 3D VRML model of the molecule could be generated from the file. Again, online java editor would be a nice tool for this. As a further improvement, the molecular models could be indexed in a special way and allow search for parts of molecules (eg. "find everything that contains indole skeleton"). SMILES could be leveraged here.

The relations between the objects the pages are could be represented and handled automatically using CycL; the OpenCyc [1] framework could do a good job here.

Sane system for handling geographical locations; this is actually already being worked on, as Wikipedia:WikiProject Geographical coordinates.

[edit] Templates

An attempt for a semantic markup for some chemical values. The values are wrapped to SPAN tags with CLASS attribute set to a keyword set to meaning of the tag. This is then used as a hook for a Greasemonkey javascript that manipulates the number and turns it into a link or popup menu with a set of actions appropriate for the given type of number.
